Data sources are organized in a tree structure (like files and folders). You can place them in the public folder, available for all, or in a private folder for personal use.

The procedure for creating a new data source is similar to creating other Necto administration entities: You create an empty data source, name it and save it. Then, you fill in the data source details.

To create a new data source:

1.Click the New  button on the Application Bar or select New from the options menu in the Data Sources Pane.

2.In the Select the data type dialog box, select: Analysis Services Data Source, Relational Database Data Source, Excel or CSV Data Source, or Reporting Services Data Source.

3.In the Save dialog box, use the buttons at the top to display the Public , Private  or another user’s  storage. You can use the search box to find a folder. Select the folder where you want to save the new data source.

In Data Source Name, enter a name for the data source.

4.Click Finish.
